What is the structure of cryovac film?
Cryovac is a registered trademark of the Sealed Air Corporation. Cryovac films are made up of multiple layers of plastics resins which are capable of preventing certain gases and/or moisture getting in or out of the sealed package.

Can ypu freeze live lobster?
I don't think you can freeze to may kinds of seafood ....i have been looking it up on the net because my husband is a lobster fishermen and we have been looking for ways to freeze his catch ....but all i come up with is you must cook it first then store the lobster.... If anyone know about storing live lobster please shareAll seafood must be killed and gutted and cleaned before freezing. If you freeze them live, the contents of the gut will contaminate the flesh. If you cryovac them, they don't have to be cooked. It's especially important to clean bottom feeders as they pick up the most contaminants.Heavy metals sink.
How long is frozen chicken breast good?
I would not freeze any meat longer than six months for best results. Freezer burn is a result of moisture and slowly dries out the product while accumulating frost in the process. Most forms of home storing unless using "cryovac" or an air tight/vacuum sealed process will result in freezer burn over time. The shorter the time frozen, the fresher it will taste. A suggestion for home freezing is to pre-marinate the meat for a few hours in the refrigerator while in the bag before placing it in the freezer. Don't freeze the product in the package you purchased it in unless it is air tight. The trays and stretch film used is thick but very porous and will induce freezer burn. Rinse all fowl before using. If the chicken comes with wrap already I usually cover it in tin foil as well to prevent freezer burn. Freezer burn will show light brown spots on the skin of the chicken. Although it won't hurt you it's best to add something that will give it a kick such as a glaze before taking it out of the oven. Chickens and other meats can be left in the freezer for up to 1 year. If it's in there 2 years it's still OK to eat, but it may be tasteless. Also, you can defrost chicken, cook it well and if you have any left over you can re-freeze it. This applies to roasts, and stews. 1 year 365 days - white meat 180 days - dark meat Dark meat has about 5-7% fat content which will turn ( white meat 2-3%)
